Title: A vote for Nader is a vote for Cranky Kong
Post by: MEGAߥTE on October 03, 2004, 08:03:44 PM
"Some of [Nader's] speeches can also veer into the bizarre. He can sound like an angry old grandad, lecturing troublesome children. 'What happened to playing kick the can in the backyard?' he cried at one meeting in Miami as he ranted against Nintendo."

Like a grandad? Don't tell DKVine.

Nader's against Nintendo?  That's a shame.

I have decided to retire from making signatures...or is my newest signature in development?

Ack! I forgot to read the last few words! (On a side note, I now understand why this was posted, when I didn't before.)

Don't vote Nader!

Huh?  Nadar?  Um... who's Nadar?  Is he, like, uh... Darth Nadar?  Uh... why does he, uh, hate Nintendo so much, uh?

Thought I'd revive this topic to say... That's probably why he didn't win! :)

......I think we all knew that, though, so, there was no need in reviving this.

Nader didn't win for three reasons:
1) He's independent.  The green party kicked him out.  Independants don't win national elections too often because the independant view is typically different than mainstream ideas, that being the reason they're not republicans or democrats.
2. Nader's not fit for presidency.
3. Half the nation doesn't know who he is.

Why is he against Nintendo?  He's probably one of those guys who thinks it's uneducational, but the truth is i learned a lot from playing nintendo.  Nonetheless it depends on the game, but I think RPGs are the best for english.  Playing SNES RPGs really structured my english as a kid, and I learned a lot of new words, and wordplay if you will.  Prose and Poetry skills developed faster, and now I'm an english expert.

"Half the nation doesn't know who he is."

Perhaps it should say what, not who! I think he (or whatever) could rant against anything.

Yeah, after all, our present president is so much better than him. As is John Kerry.
